Cheers for that Eamon. Interesting the china post order tracking still not available, that was the main reason I escalated my pay pal dispute, I have no way of proving they sent it and I wasn't going to just wait and wait incase the time period exceeded my time to make a claim. I'm very impatient lol

Isn't it a bit ridiculous too that they just *turn off* the tracking system rather than improving it to take the load!

Was it HONGKONGPOST or CHINAPOST tracking number they gave you ? Just to be sure!!

Where did you order it from ?

Ordered it from FocalPrice in China. They provided the Chinese EMS site when shipped confirmed. I've checked both China and HK post with the RA*********CN number and both return nothing. Happy enough to wait until next week but it's just a bit frustrating/worrying that you can't track the package.

Quick update: Got my money refunded Tuesday from Pandawill/PayPal.
I'm following Ainol on Twitter and they're talking about the Novo 8 and something new next month: "We are launching new products in April. Hint: Dual core!"

i ordered an ainol advanced II on the 23rd feb, no sign. it's certainly not the longest i've waited for something to be delivered from china, but still - the things i've read online about the current postal delays in china don't inspire me with confidence it'll even [ever!] get here. seems this holiday the whole thing has imploded in one big clusterfook [far worse than usual]

Got it from here for abit cheaper than it is now. Looks good but who knows!!

Tempted by this one myself, was originally going to wait for reliable stock on the aurora, but think I'd rather the larger screen.

The previous S7100 looks like it was well recieved, found a vid for the s9000 here:

cool keep us informed how you get on..... am still a bit wary of ordering from china

Well my order arrived 17 days (13 working days).

Very impressed with the Aurora.

Only downside I've noticed so far are the somewhat flimsy buttons on the top right to control sound but that's one minus against many pluses.

The screen is incredible.
I purchased it as a media player and its unreal.
Very vibrant colours and no lag in browsing files or playing.

Very impressed so far.

Hi Mathie.
Are you having any problems with the microsd slot. I can't get the tablet to recognise microsd cards. I've tried 2 cards, different formatting but no luck.

0% customs on tablets.
23% VAT though.
Also, some bull**** anpost handling charge of 6 euro.

Hmmm just plugged in a microSD card and it doesn't seem to recognise it straight off.

EDIT sorry it did get it.

When I try to copy a file from a usb drive to the microsd I get "open failed eacces (permission denied)" within Astro file manager.

How was yours so cheap. VAT at 23% and the handling charge should mean it's more :pac:

It is usually estimated unless the correct value is on the package. Often times the sender puts a very low value on the package, to assist in avoid paying vat etc. but I think they work it out based on the commodity (and weight?!!).

Pretty much the exact same dates as me. I got a refund through PayPal this evening. I'm not sure how long you have to open a case but maybe you should look into it.

DHGate is like a Chinese Ebay with a multitude of different sellers, some good some bad. Treat it with the same (or more) caution you would in buying off ebay.
